from Oregon, now SD
Chomping at the bit, Gannets were diving yesterday, any day now.
I went out to Dixon on foot last weekend and got skunked with my fly rod. Thinking I might go to one of the Santee lakes Sunday morning and give that a try.

I really don't like having to pay to fish, but don't see much alternative.

My son and his friends have good luck with C&R at the local golf courses. Nighttime only and don't get caught. You should hook (pun semi intended) with the old guys that fly fish Blacks at dawn most mornings. Unless you plan on a hike in the mountains, you will be paying to fish the local lakes.

Golf courses have excellent fishing, my parents used to have a place in SW FL and all of the lakes connected to a tidal river. Baby tarpon, snook and largemouth at same time with same flies.

Just spent 4 days in Loreto for my brother-in-law's 50th and we did a quick trip yesterday morning before leaving in the afternoon. We caught 12 yellowtail in all. We ended up giving 10 to the captain who took us out, then cut up the other 2 and brought them up to the restaurant and had them prepare a lunch for our group before leaving.

Well, I guess that answers my question on the Bird & Nature post.
Congrats on the nice yellows.
Wish I was going down with my friends next week but instead I'm headed up to Oregon on Thursday to another friend's place for some Spring King action on the Willamette.
